ABSTRACT
Background:
It was aimed to adapt a 12-item questionnaire into Persian among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in Markazi province. Material andMethods:
Content validity was evaluated based on the opinions of the relevant experts, and by calculating the scale-level content validity index (S-CVI) and the item-level content validity index (I-CVI). Reliability was assessed via test-retest, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and Cronbach's alpha.Results:
The obtained scores on clarity and relevancy (I-CVI) ranged from 0.9 to 1. The S-CVI also had an acceptable validity of 0.99. The Cronbach's alpha index of the whole questionnaire was 0.84 and ranged from 0.69 to 0.82 for subscales. The ICC in test-retest for all questionnaires was 0.88 and for subscales ranged from 0.77 to 0.88.Conclusion:
The Persian version of the 12-item human immunodeficiency virus-related stigma questionnaire was found to be, in addition to being short and comprehensive, acceptable reliability and high validity to use in order to determine the stigma related to Persian-speaker PLHIV.Palavras-chave
